- You possess a bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a closely related field or equivalent experience
Bonus Points
- Experience with database technologies (e.g., Redis, SQL, NoSQL) and pub/sub systems.
- Experience with cloud providers, particularly Google Cloud Platform or other major providers.
- Experience with workflow management tools or map-reduce frameworks such as Apache Airflow, Buildkite, Ray, or Dataflow..
- Experience with Linux system, e.g. CPU scheduler, memory management, file systems
